Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) 1

Green Cleaning: The term 'environmentally preferable purchasing' was codified by the US EPA in 1993 to formally initiate the EPA's work on developing standards and processes to identify 'environmentally preferable' products for targeted purchasing by the federal government. Environmentally preferable purchasing (EPP) recognizes the power of purchasers and the use of the marketplace to drive environmental and health improvements.
